The Cartographers Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateursall are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

The dutch are great cartographers by nature so it is only logical they come here to educate the world

Attached is a pdf from one of the first 'completed' maps I made with CC3, a region from my campaign world where the current campaign setting is running (we just started with DnD 4th ed). It is a mountain region to the eastcoast of an island archipelago.
When I made this I was learning how to use the various sheet effects, the towns and dungeons I'm creating now have more visual effects.

So in the future you can expect more maps from me here, I might even try a challenge now and then
